REEN peafowl (the male referred to as Peacock) is a large galliform bird that is found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia mainly Burma, Thailand, Malaya and Indonesia. It is also known as the Java peafowl, but this term is properly used to describe the nominate subspecies endemic to the island of Java. It is the closest relative of the Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), which is mostly found on the Indian subcontinent. So those blue peacocks that you see in Malaysia are not local and were imported from India in the past century or so. The green ones are endangered. Just thought that fellow Malaysian should know this because Malaysians are more interested about Pandas (or politicians) rather than anything else right now :)
